"Every time a genius from the big world arrives, the secret realm becomes extremely lively and exciting."
"A few days ago, I heard that Yang Yu, a genius from the Yangjian Sect of the Xuantian Sword Domain, suddenly rose like a rising star. He challenged the leader of the Northeastern Yuanli Branch and defeated him with three strikes. He is truly powerful."
Chu Nan suddenly remembered that in the original novel, Yang Yu first became famous throughout the secret realm, and then had a conflict with Ye Chen in the land of opportunity, which eventually turned into a life-and-death battle.
The two sides fought hard, and the situation was so tense that readers were worried about the protagonist.
In the end, Ye Chen, with his fifth-level foundation-building cultivation, coupled with the innate thunder sword intent, activated the innate sword body phantom and almost used all his cards to defeat Yang Yu of the Yang Sword Sect.
Now it seems that the events of Yang Yu's fame in the secret realm still happened according to the original plan. It is highly likely that he will still compete with Ye Chen for opportunities, and finally be fed to Ye Chen as an experience baby.
"This time, the Demon Sect has also descended upon the Great World, along with a large number of demonic cultivators. They are cruel and bloodthirsty, dyeing the vast southwest of the Secret Realm black. The influence of Yuanli in the southwest has shrunk, leaving it to the Demon Sect."
"Tens of millions of creatures in the southwest of the secret realm have become food for the demon cultivators. They can eat whatever they want, braise, steam, or boil them. They can eat them however they want."
Chu Nan frowned. This Demon Sect was truly a Demon Sect, not the kind of demon sect forcibly defined by decent people in many novels.
These demons are completely devoid of conscience, do whatever they want, and have no bottom line. Eating people is a common occurrence for them.
Therefore, anything related to the devil is absolutely intolerable to upright monks.
So in the original novel, after Qingxuan Zong turned into a demon, even though Ye Chen was thinking of Qin Keqing, he resolutely drew his sword and killed him with one sword.
"Have you noticed that there are many more demon cultivators nearby?"
"Fuck, stop scaring me." Those who were timid and not very skilled just felt cold all over.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what do you think? If the secret realm is infected by the demon sect, will it become even more chaotic and disorderly?"
"Does the Demon Sect really want to drag the entire secret realm into the devil's way? Yuanli will never allow it."
"Tsk tsk, the Demon Sect is showing signs of fighting for control of the secret realm. I wonder if a shocking battle will break out with the Yuanli?"
"I thought the secret realm was the highest level of foundation building, and that it was a utopia and a safe house. But now it seems that this is not the case. The secret realm seems to be getting more and more dangerous."
"The Yuanli leaders must be having a lot of trouble right now. On one hand, they are being provoked by Qingxuan's two disciples, on the other hand, they are being invaded by the demonic cultivators, and on top of that, they have to face the challenge of the old hostile force, the Anti-Yuanli Alliance. Tsk tsk tsk."
The Anti-Yuanli Alliance is extremely powerful and is the second largest force in the secret realm after Yuanli. However, it is still far behind Yuanli.
"By the way, have you noticed that besides the demon cultivators, there are also many living dead nearby?"
Chu Nan was stunned. This was the first time he heard of the living dead.
Just then, a middle-aged man with a sword came into the inn. As soon as he appeared, Chu Nan had a strange feeling and he looked over.
The middle-aged man had no expression on his face, his eyes were dull, and his behavior seemed normal, but a little stiff.
He raised his left hand, holding a piece of paper, and asked everyone, "Have you ever seen a talisman of this style?"
Chu Nan looked at it. As a talisman practitioner, he could tell at a glance that the painting was not a complete talisman. The talisman was missing a key corner.
What surprised him even more was that he was very familiar with this incomplete talisman, which was the first fragment of the delay talisman.
Could it be that this man is also a talisman cultivator? However, he is holding a sword in his right hand, so he shouldn't be a talisman cultivator.
The middle-aged man slowly turned his head, and when his eyes passed over Chu Nan, Chu Nan felt a chill all over his body. The middle-aged man said again, "Anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded with 100,000 high-grade spirit stones."
One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones was a huge fortune, and many people in the inn showed greed.
A young man who looked a bit clever was sitting at the table in front of Chu Nan. He stood up and said, "I've seen that talisman."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man holding a sword at the door came over.
Because of the angle, the man with the sword seemed to be walking towards Chu Nan.
Chu Nan suddenly felt a cold breath coming towards him, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Do you know the clue to this talisman?" The sword-wielding man's voice was flat, without any fluctuation, just like the voice of a robot.
"Can I really get 100,000 high-grade spirit stones by providing clues?" the young man asked, his eyes rolling.
"As long as the news is true, it will be given to you within three days." The sword-wielding man replied mechanically.
"Then how do you know whether the news is true or not?" the boy asked.
"I can tell."
The young man thought for a moment and said, "I saw this exact same talisman at the madam of Zuifenglou a few days ago."
"You lied." The sword-wielding man's voice sounded mechanically and calmly. He raised his sword and pointed it at the boy's throat. The aura of a peak foundation building peak flashed away. He added mechanically, "The price of lying is death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man with the sword stabbed the young man's throat. Even though the young man had the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was unable to block it.
Everyone in the inn was stunned, staring at the man with the sword without blinking, especially at the back of his head, and then they all looked terrified and held their breath.
Chu Nan frowned slightly, but he didn't feel sorry for the young man, because the young man did lie, and his purpose was naturally to defraud 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
The reason why Chu Nan judged that the boy was lying was because the talisman on the paper was broken, so there would never be an identical talisman.
Chu Nan didn't know how the man with the sword made his judgment.
When the sword-wielding man put away his sword and turned to leave, Chu Nan couldn't help but gasp and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He finally understood why he felt cold when he saw the man with the sword, and he also finally understood why the man's movements were a little stiff, because this man was not a living person at all, but was already dead.
The man with the sword was the living dead that everyone in the inn had just mentioned.
The reason why he could still move and take action was because there was a talisman stuck on the back of his head.
It was the talisman that was driving the dead man with the sword.
This reminded Chu Nan of the corpse-driving people in western Hunan, whose settings were extremely similar.
The only difference is that one is driven by a zombie, while this one is driven by a dead person, and this dead person can also mobilize spiritual power, and his combat power is not much different from when he was alive.
Chu Nan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the talisman.
The talisman was exquisite, with the starting stroke, the rotation, and the formation all being impeccable.
The golden talisman in Chu Nan's dantian flashed slightly, and a wisp of mental power passed through the talisman, seeing through the man.
He discovered that the man with the sword was not completely dead, but had left behind a tiny, almost non-existent soul. The talisman was driving this residual soul to drive the body.
